Nicky Butt cautioned for headbutting guard at birthday party

Former Manchester United and England footballer Nicky Butt has received a police caution for actual bodily harm after he headbutted a security guard at his 50th birthday party at Soho Farmhouse, Oxfordshire, in January. The incident occurred after bar staff refused to serve Butt more drinks, prompting him to leave for a courtyard where a security guard confronted him for urinating against a wall, leading to a heated altercation and the alleged assault. The security guard suffered facial injuries and was treated in hospital for a suspected broken nose. Butt admitted the offence, accepted the caution—which is recorded in criminal background checks—and agreed to make a charitable donation. The party was attended by several former teammates and celebrities, including David and Victoria Beckham, Paul Scholes, and Gary Neville. Thames Valley Police confirmed the investigation has concluded with the caution being issued.
